WIPCOOP

We work, we meet, we talk, we progress

WIPCOOP revolves primarily around the annual Work In Progress days. These take place from September to December in Leuven, Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. About 20 artists will each show up to 30 minutes from a new creation to an audience of professionals and curious viewers. Immediately after each presentation, conversation follows to consider together concrete avenues, contacts or own support tailored to each artist and creation. MAP then remains a sparring partner and thinks with you about the various steps and who can do what in this regard.

Matchmaking and flow

MAP pairs its own years of experience with those of its partners. For each city, we bring together a range of organizations that join forces in WIPCOOP. As a network, we start from the artistic individuality of each creator and look for the right support, such as rehearsal or residency space, coaching, production support and/or programming.

Growing (up) together

MAP monitors further developments and collaborations with other (partner) organizations. We continually reinvigorate the work through residencies, showcases, prospecting days, etc., and fully deploy our communications to make each step visible. We also work on mutual dialogue, between artists and organizations, as well as among ourselves. How do we put the puzzle together ? How can an organization support emerging creators ? What are thresholds or recurring themes during a making process ? Let’s talk about … that is.
